IMPRQVEMENT IN STUMP-EXTRACTORS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thelname.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD FALES, ofLancaster, in the county of Schuyler, and in -the State of Missouri,haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Machine for Pulling Grubs; anddo hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and generalarrangement of a machine for pulling up stumps or grubs.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappcrtains, to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, whichform a part of this specication, and in whichy Figure 1 is a side view,and

Figure 2, a plan view of the machine.

A represents the bed of the machine, which, at one end, is provided witha pivoted tail-piece, B, that is made fastto a tree by means of 'thechain C.

0n each side of the bed A extends a beam, D, t-o stake the machine totheground', if desired.

On the upper side of the bed A is an upright shaft, E,`surrounded by acylinder, F, suitably secured to the shaft, and also to the bed A.

Around `this cylinder is placed the crumor reel G, which, on its upperedge, is provided with a series of teeth, a. a., bevelled on one side,as seen in iig. 1.

Around the upper end of the shaft`E, above the cylinder F and drum G, isplaced the sweep H, to which the horse is hitched. V

I is the usual hitch-pole, attachedv to the sweep H,

- for the purpose of hitchiug the horse.

and held in either position on 'a notched standard, K, at the inner endof the sweep. Y

It will readily be seen that by raising the vlever J, the sweep islowered, and vice-cena. I

On the under side of the sweep are twopmjections, e e, which, when thesweep is lowered, as above described, will catch on the teeth a a of thedrum G, and

consequently turn the same.v A rope or chain, f, is secured to the drumG, and l passes around a pulley, h, in the rear end of the tackle-poleL, thence back to 'and around a pulley, i, in the end of the bed A, andthen to the tackle-pole, where it is secured.

The rear end of the tackle-pole L isfp'rovided with two small wheels, mm, and the front end with a chain, n, which is made fast to the grubthat is to be pulled.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is` y 1.The arrangement, upon the bedA, having sidebeams, D I), ofthe pivotedtail-piece Bistationary shaft-E, with cylinder F, and revolving drumG,`pro vided with bevelled teeth a a, all substantially. as shown anddescribed.

2. The sweep H, around the shaft E, and having projections e e ou its,under side, in combination with the pin b, slotted lever J, and notchedstandard K,.all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

3. The tackle-pole L, provided with wheels 'm m, and pulley h., incombination with the ropeor chain j, pulley t', and drum G, allsubstantially as and for the f purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand andseal, this 21st day of July,

EDWARD FALES. [1.. s]
